When spring returns every year, my allergies kick in. I get watery eyes, runny nose and can’t stop sneezing. That’s right! I have hay fever due to the high cedar pollen in the air.
You may have the same problem as me. It seems there are a lot of pollen in the air today.
Today’s Japanese phrase is:
“Kafunsho desu.” = I’m suffering from hay fever.
(“kafunsho” – hay fever/pollen allergy, “.. desu” = it is…/I am.)
